Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install aevol on Kali Linux.
What is aevol
aevol is:
Aevol is a digital genetics model: populations of digital organisms are
subjected to a process of selection and variation, which creates a
Darwinian dynamics.

By modifying the characteristics of selection (e.g. population size,
type of environment, environmental variations) or variation (e.g.
mutation rates, chromosomal rearrangement rates, types of
rearrangements, horizontal transfer), one can study experimentally the
impact of these parameters on the structure of the evolved organisms.
In particular, since Aevol integrates a precise and realistic model of
the genome, it allows for the study of structural variations of the
genome (e.g. number of genes, synteny, proportion of coding sequences).
The simulation platform comes along with a set of tools for analysing
phylogenies and measuring many characteristics of the organisms and
populations along evolution.
There are three methods to install aevol on Kali Linux. We can use apt-get, apt and aptitude. In the following sections we will describe each method. You can choose one of them.
Install aevol Using apt-get
Update apt database with apt-get using the following command.
